    Latest version of Ubuntu doesn't have any menu.lst file. It uses grub.cfg which is a readonly file generated by scripts only.

    Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Edit /etc/default/grub file to change default OS in GRUB Menu.

    If you want to boot second OS by default, set
    Code:
    GRUB_DEFAULT=1
    Execute sudo update-grub command after editing /etc/default/grub file.

    Install startup-manager from Synaptic Package Manager then find it in System/administration. Control from there
